A fantastic nursery. All the staff are so helpful and always go above and beyond for the children/families. The staff are friendly and welcoming. My daughter is extremely happy in this setting and has thrived since she has started in August 2015. I would like to say a huge thank you to all the fantastic staff.

My little girl has been attending pre-school only two afternoons per week however I am amazed at the positive influence Circus has had on so many important aspects of her life. She loves the environment and the staff are genuinely caring. Even with the short sessions she spends there she has gained so much more social confidence in particular, but also a good sense of what to expect come September at school. I have no previous experience with nurseries but Circus went above and beyond my expectations. Really fantastic work!
